What’s easier than a one dish meal that can be prepared all in one pot too! ……..now THAT is my dream dinner! Kevin and Amanda shared a recipe for Spicy Sausage Pastathat I can’t WAIT to try! I love that it has summer sausage instead of our usual chicken or ground beef with pasta.

We first made Chicken Enchilada Puffs last fall, and they have since showed up on our menu at least once a month! All of the taste of a chicken enchilada rolled up in a crescent roll. Toss up a salad while they are in the oven and you have a quick and easy dinner the whole family will love! – these are great left over too!

Pork Tenderloin is on our table a few times a month – I usually just season and toss on the grill, which is super easy, but I was starting to get a little bored with it. Enter the day I found the Brown Sugar and Balsamic Glazed Pork Loin over at C+C Marriage Factory, who found it from Let’s Dish Recipes! This recipe changed my life! …..ok, maybe not really, but this is one FABULOUS pork tenderloin, it’s tender, juicy and mildly sweet. You can pop in the crockpot in the morning and serve with your favorite sides, or as sandwiches or wraps. I would guess it would be delicious leftover…..but we never have any left over to try!

This Chicken Spaghetti Recipe has been on my must make list for a while, but for some reason I haven’t made it yet. What I love about it, besides being a one pot dish, is you can use a Rotisserie Chicken! I love to pick those up for a really quick dinner and I love using them in recipes.

I have always loved Mikasas ceramics. I am an artist/teacher and I approve! Out of these choices I prefer the Annisa set because it is “different” and a little bit more unique. Dont get me wrong, I love traditional dinnerware and if the Annisa wasn’t there I would have picked the Italian Counrty Side because both me and my fiance are Italians, and this is a classic set that would last a lifetime. I am “friends” with Mikasa on facebook and its always so great to see them doing promotions like these! Thanks Mikasa and TidyMom. I am now a fan of TIdyMom! You don’t need to be a mom to think these creative ideas are essential to a home! Thank you!
